Actually the new technology is for LED bulbs. Supposedly less power
consumption and much longer life.
They replaced two traffic lights in town already with the new LED
bulbs and they are brighter and cleaner looking. Many of the top of
the line models of cars are using LED technology for taillights and
Brake lights.

Well, not too exciting; but just a little exciting.
Many years ago there was an inexpensive night-light sold that put 2
bulbs, 7 W each, in series. It still gave enough light for a
night-light, and it didn't have or need a switch. The cost of
electricity was low, and the life of the bulbs exceedingly long, so
they were on at all times and I never "forgot to turn on the
night-light." Of course today we have solid state light detectors,
circuits, and light sources; so the same function is achieved and
the night-light is on only when it's dark. I don't know how the cost
and lifetimes of the old and new technologies compare.
